How do I open ports in the new firewall?

that only gives the option to allow or disallow incoming connections....
im trying to set up azureus, and need to make sure my specific ports are open.
I like to leave the firewall in stealth mode.

click advanced > enable stealth mode.
that's as advanced as the built in one gets.
if you want more, try little snitch. 😉
it all works until i enable stealth mode, (actually setting up ports in Transmission) then Transmission says that the port is stealth.
without stealth enabled, the port is reported as open in Transmission.
I prefer the firewall in Tiger, it was much more configurable, Leopard seems to have over simplified it to the point of not really being useful!

I agree with you completely. I could decide what ports I wanted open before, now I've got a basic choice of what programs are allowed incoming connections. Lame. All they did was take the basic commands of Little Snitch and incorporate them into OS X while kicking the old firewall settings to the side.
